Sadly, a close or even distant reading of the past few winners suggests that the Nobel's weird era is over. After the batshit run of Alexievich, Dylan, Ishiguro, Tokarczuk, and Handke (the latter two awarded in a single year because of a #MeToo/gambling controversy that embroiled the Academy in 2018—a combination of factors that in retrospect stands in for much of what ails the world today), things have been normal, solid, and respectable. No gripes with Glück and Gurnah, no errors with the choice of Ernaux, no fault with Fosse, all kredit to Kang and, now, Krasznahorkai. How respectable! How solid! But—crucially— what are two unprofessional Nobel commentators to do?

Krasznahorkai is, after all, a consummate laureate, a writer of novels people not unreasonably like to describe as challenging, difficult, elusive—and other words that could also describe the possibility of social democracy in the United States. Krasznahorkai has famously collaborated with the challenging, difficult, elusive filmmaker Béla Tarr and probably has a superlative collection of György Kurtág records. In the Swedish Academy's phrasing, his is a "compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art." Fair enough.
Krasznahorkai described it better when he said his work was "reality described to the point of madness."

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Oklahoma’s d-line has dubbed itself “The Dog Pound,” a name inspired by the BossMan Dlow song “Game Winner” — which samples former Coast Carolina coach David Bennett’s viral 2011 press conference moment.

“Nobody wants to have no cats,” R Mason Thomas said. “All dogs."
